I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.
Comedy is funny when it comes from truth, and that's always the rule of them. It's about how far you can push that boundary.
As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.
I don't think there's anything more scary than being forced into doing stand-up comedy.
I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.
Stand-up comedy is still a very male-dominated world. You look at a set list and maybe there's one woman on there.
Regardless of what kind of film, the number one rule of comedy is to never take yourself too seriously and then the next rule is you can't have any self-consciousness, otherwise it kills the laugh, and that will never change.
Working with David Gordon Green, and Jonah Hill, and Michael Cera, and Drew Barrymore, and all of those people - those are the best people in comedy to work with. Anna Faris. You know, that's my goal, to keep learning and to just keep working with the best people I can. And yeah, we do all hang out, and we all kind of know each other.
There's a certain truism that you can't be self-conscious in comedy. If I'm in it and if there's a scene that has a great set-up, I will go as far as somebody will let me.
